Famous Nollywood actress, Mercy Aigbe, has taken to social media to share photos of herself performing her first Hajj in Mecca after her conversion to Islam.
“May Allah accept our supplications on this very special day as an act of ibadah. Amin,” Aigbe captioned the photos shared on her Instagram page as she pose with her husband, Kazeem Adeoti in one of the photos.
Many months ago, Aigbe sparked reactions when she shared a video of her secret wedding with her newfound love and movie producer, Adeoti.
Aigbe’s marriage to Adeoti in 2022 sparked an outpouring of emotions. It may be recalled that the award-winning actress married Kazim in a private ceremony on December 31, 2021, but kept it quiet until she posted the video on her Instagram page with the caption, “Throwback to a beautiful day.” Blessed and Grateful.”
Despite her marriage, Aigbe kept her birth name until April of this year, when she revealed in an interview that she now has an Islamic name.
Aigbe revealed that she has changed her name to Hajia Meenah Mercy Adeoti during a Ramadan lecture and special prayers hosted by herself and her husband, Kazeem Adeoti.
